Abstract

At this point in the clinical reasoning process, practitioners select and conduct multiple types of evaluations, leading to an abundance of information about the person served. Seasoned practitioners compartmentalize this abundance of incoming information to align with a person’s story that will eventually guide the intervention plan. This chapter will discuss the specific information gathered about the person during the evaluation process, how the potential biases of the practitioners may influence this process and ways to safeguard against this.
